Maybe I'm not old-school enough, but I think this is the last carb'd bike I'll ever own.
Before looking for the pre-gen box (the ignition of the pre-gen was up to 42 degrees) maybe this could be worth a test: RTR-KAW-5-05 $69.95

Scroll down to the ignition advancer kit, this will give you 5 deg. advance and so your bike will have 40 degrees at least.
I hope it works, good luck
